Hab. Conception ; on the dead leaves of Qsadria heterophylla.— Th.is curious plant, of a yellow colour
sometimes tinged vritit green, covers old leaves of the Quadria (G emia avellana. Mol.) with denso ciespi-
tose but radiated jointless filaments. Fructifications are frequent on the upper sides of tho prostrate lateral
filaments.—We must coufess that wc are doubtful respecting tile geuus.

Hab. Valparaiso; on the lower side of the leaves of Eugenia Temu.—TAds little plant forms irregular
black spots on the epidermis, and has a near affinity with the BotUdea of the Betula nana, in Europe; hut
there the surface is shining, the cells are white, and the ostiola are larger aud more prominent.
The following additional species appear to have been detected by the Expedition on its retimi to Chili,
probably at Valparaiso, and were placed in tho same packet with the Mexican CoUection ; on which account
they were previously overlooked by us.

Don’s paper for full characters of this genus and its species: he places it in Homahncm, where it seems to
rank naturally next to Pineda. The above three species are all named Corcolen in Chili: but there is a
fourth with reticulated leaves and a panicled inflorescence, called Lilen, the A.? Lilen, Bert. {Lilenia, nov.

the gai-deiis there, in which, Mr. Bridges informs us, if is cultivated under the name of Tara.—To us it
appears that this pbiiit is exclusively a native of Peru, and wc can scarcely doubt that the two species
described by Humboldt are mere varieties, differing only in the more or less abundant aculei on tbe leaf-
atallis.» Botli are used iu dj-eing, and from tlieir beauty, arc amply deserting of cultivation. Feuillee was
in the habit of making a beautiful and very black ink from this plant, by infusing the pods with a little alum
in water for a night, and afterwai-ds boiling them.
Page 22.— Cassia frondosa. The Coquimbo specimens in the Collection, and others that we have received
from the same spot, gathered by Mr. Bridges, have the leaves more or less hairy on the nerves, aud remarkably
ciliated at the margin, and of a less firm texture than those from Valparaiso, which we have from other
ti-avellers, and which appeai-s to us to be the true frondosa.
